Hey guys, i found this guy this morning (June 10th), on the beach in Orange Beach, Alabama. There were thousands of them out this morning! I know very little of species identification, and I watched some of AntsCanada's videos upon the subject but I found nothing conclusive. So, I thought I would reach out on here for help. She's about 12 mm in length and still has her wings. I hope these photos are good enough for you all to identify her.

Thanks for the help!

Just did a little research on this species, it says they do not like a lot of moisture, should I modify the standard test tube setup to accommodate this?

No, all she needs is a test tube and a small foraging area where you can give her food as she is semi-claustral
